Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

I think, Manchester city will be champion, this year they are very string, and nobody talk about them un champion's League but if is à serious pretendant to final victory.

I wouldn't agree more, Manchester city is a complete team and they can afford to rotate players and still maintain a winning team unlike their closest rivials Man Utd who rely on setpiece players

Man United vs Man City
December 10, 2017, Sunday.
16:30 (local time)

Odds (ML):  Man United - 3.44.  Man City - 2.20.  Draw - 3.56

Be there or be square. 



This is it guys!  The biggest fixture (IMO) in the EPL this year.  Will we see Man United mix it up and play two strikers up like they did at Arsenal or will we see Mou park the bus against Man City's all out attacking style of football?

Same with City, will Pep play Jesus and Aguero in a 3 - 5 - 2?  I think yes!  So excited.

Parking the bus is not an option when playing against Man City, we saw west ham try this strategy when they were leading 1 goal up and result went against them and Mou knows it too and the only way to defend is to attack and that's what we shall expect to see.

But Man United are not West Ham. They're a much stronger team especially at home. City are still a stronger team than United so I think Jose will play it safe especially since they're missing Pogba. One thing for sure is it will be an interesting game and I'll be watching it along with the Liverpool derby.

Precisely. Man United can park the bus extremely well, they have a team built almost tailored to these needs: solid defence, arguably best goalkeeper in the world, a poacher strike and two fast wide players for the counter, and especially a midfield built to frustrate and break down play. Even the overall tactics employed by Mourinho's team is suitable for this... time wasting, injury faking, niggling fouls... look at how they completely dumbed down the match against Liverpool.

That said, they have the advantage that City will expect them to do this, and so a fluent attacking formation can dismantle City, even without Pogba. Mikhi better get his good boots out (and Lukaku!). United need to win this or we can all kiss goodbye to our respective team's chances for the title. I'm down on a bet for them - ML.

I actually think Lukaku is better than Pogba but I seem to be in the minority, I agree there will be lots of time wasting and diving/faking injuries. I think a penalty or sending off is on the cards as well.

These are my predictions for the weekends games


Burnley v Watford 1

Crystal Palace v Bournemouth 1

Huddersfield Town v Brighton and Hove Albion X

Liverpool v Everton 1

Manchester United v Manchester City X

Newcastle United v Leicester City X

Southampton v Arsenal 2

Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion X

Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City 1

West Ham United v Chelsea 2

[hilariousetc]

My picks for the games this week:

West Ham United v Chelsea 1-1
Burnley v Watford 1-0
Crystal Palace v Bournemouth 0-0
Huddersfield Town v Brighton and Hove Albion 1-1
Liverpool v Everton 2-0
Newcastle United v Leicester City 1-1
Southampton v Arsenal 1-2
Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion 0-0
Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City 2-0
Manchester United v Manchester City 1-1

I may change some before kick off though.

If any of you guys want to get in on the Premier League Pool I started at the beginning of the season we're starting a new one that will kick off on the 1st of Jan here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2484329.msg25433726#msg25433726

It's £20 to join in and is good fun.

Confident on taking the extra point and a half for Stoke City because Tottenham on home rarely wins by 2 or more (only counting EPL matches). I predict the score to end 1-0 or 2-1 for Tottenham. Betslip for those curious.

Also have Burnley ML because they haven't lost twice in a row and after a loss they either win or draw and with the home advantage they should win.

Edit : Welp Tottenham killed my bet. I got carried away and now just noticed that I mistakenly bet on Watford. Bankroll is still fine I have to double check my bets from now on.

Do you really compare Manchester united with West Ham ? rofl. Manchester United is a big team and pleas look at the last match man united against Arsenal, it's so hard to make a goal for Arsenal. This match play at old Trafford though, pretty sure man united will play offensive too. With De Gea, man united will be safe! 2-0 win for man united for me.

 I try an easy double-up today in Premier League:

Burnley vs Watford
Burnley has always done under 2.5 goals at home in Premier League (7 of 7 times).
Burnley is a very defensive team, at home has suffered only 3 goals in 7 matches.
UNDER 2,5 GOALS at quote@1.60

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth:
Crystal palace has the worst attack of the Premier League:only 8 goals scored in 14 matches
Bournemouth in Premier League did 13 of 14 times under 3.5 goals.
UNDER 3,5 goals at quote@1.30

I was trying to say parking the bus is not the kind of football Manchester United is known to play inspite having packed it against arsenal and collecting the much need points. Talking of West ham they are back and Chelsea might get hammered should the hold the current result.

Just ended WHU Chelsea game and WH won after long time believe that last win for then was in late September.

Anyway placed 2 bets

Tottenham - Stoke, win Tottenham
Newcastle - Leicester, over 1.5 goals

As I posted above I went with the 1-1 draw and was hoping they'd get a late equaliser in injury time to get me 40 points on my predictor pool.

I've gone with the Skybet enhanced threefold of Spurs, Wolves and Villa at 4/1 for my big bet this weekend. I'm pretty confident about it.

Chelsea indeed have a habit of losing to the lowest teams in the EPL, they succumbed to Crystal Palace and now they have lost out to West Ham as well with a lone goal being scored by Arnautovic. Its abysmal for Chelsea who landed a total of just to shots on target during the entire 90 minutes of the game just as West Ham. This brings to a total four defeats for Conte's side.

[DIA7]

Southampton vs Arsenal : Southampton is in unstable form and lots of problems in attack so they are not in best form to face Arsenal especially  when their last 6 matches in league so them win just one game at home that was against another struggling team Everton, while visitors Arsenal are in a much better form and after 6-0 against Bate now they are 5th in the table with 28 points and just one point behind Liverpool and last round they were unlucky to get points against Manchester United so I expect them to bounce back with another win for The Gunners.

The problem is they always let their enemy team make a goal in the very first minute and after that full defense until the end of the match. Same thing happened again, poor chelsea when they can earn 3 points but nope they lose. Derby london always bring bad result to Chelsea.

Newcastle vs Leicester => under 2.5 @1.8

Swansea vs West Brom => under 1.5 @2.45

[tomahawk9]

What a win from West Ham. Rather than talking about the losing team, I think Moyes and his players deserve all the attention. I don't think there's a clear MVP as the whole team displayed a great performance today.

Burnley (7th) vs Watford (8th)

This one looks like is going to be an entertaining match. Burnley could potentially jump to 5th position with a win, but only if Tottenham and Arsenal drop points. Over 1.5 Goals

[hilariousetc]

Newcastle vs Leicester => under 2.5 @1.8

Swansea vs West Brom => under 1.5 @2.45

I would back both these. I went for 1-1 on the Newcastle game and 0-0 on Swansea so can see them both coming in.

Spurs just scored and I doubt either them or Arsenal will lose today. Burnley will struggle with Watford even though they're strong at home. I can see either 0-0 or 1-0 but I think there'll only be a goal in it either way.

Yeah I am surprised at how well they performed as well. They should give the MVP to the goalie as a default when it is too hard to decide.

West Ham manged to achieve a lucky win against Chelsea, and this 3 points will be important for their fight in the relegation battle this season, Chelsea did managed to have a total of 19 goal attempts but it seems that West Ham defense is too simply too solid for Chelsea to break it down.

[Granxis]

Southampton was not bad in the last three games, Arsenal played a game of jokes last week, I've been to many people living in frustration including. But it will be over 2.5 goals in this game.
